”Surprise, surprise!” Li Yundong said, finding a great deal of aobsmacked expression, in particular, the adorable O-shape of herChan'er'sto see an euilt on her faceHe had noticed, ever since their reunion under the bridge, that Chan'er had lost soone, just buried under layers of guilt and apprehensionAnd he also knew that until they could successfully rescue Wushuang-qiánbèi fro's clutches, those parts of Chan'er would re prompted when Chan'er didn't react for about a minute or so
”A- Are you serious?” Chan'er's round eyes settled on his face”Y- You're not just pullingare you, beloved?”
”I' spoke with sobrietyHe wouldn't joke about this, not when an old acy to hi eyes to take care of a school that he hi
”But… But how?” Chan'er's face scrunched up in confusion”How did that even happen?”

”Grand explained”My job was to hold off the Great Six's army while Cao Yi”—Chan'er's eyes darted to his face at the randh battleThere were ht he was screwedThe lull ended when Li Yundong shook his head and picked up where he had left off”The granded him to tell me where you were” Heto him with rapt attention”Zi Yuan said he has the power to find you” He exhaled slowly through his nose”In the end, he agreed to tellrequest”
Understanding shone in Chan'er's eyes”By beco the new head of the Fox Zen School”
Li Yundong noddedGrandmaster Liu's declaration had come out of nowhere, but the other fox spirits were quick to acknowledge him as the new leader, no doubt out of necessity
”Wow”
”The grand cleared his throat and shot Chan'er a wary glance”He told me you'd be happy if I take over the Fox Zen School”
Chan'er was still staring at hily unaware of his insecurities
”Are you?” Li Yundong prompted when Chan'er didn't react for quite a while
Chan'er's eyes cleared a little”H the Fox Zen School, Iwas better suited to lead the schoolPowerfulStrongKnew a lot of spellsAnd most importantly, she was a fox spirit, someone who actually knew about the ways of fox spirits
Maybe he should resign and give the position to Wushuang-qiánbèi after they got her backHe was the head, right? He had to power to nae out of Grand the old man did
Soft are to bury his face in that fa?” Chan'er squealed lightly”Of course I'm okay with it! More than okay, actually! I' looped his arlad to hear that”

Chan'er ended the hug and stared down at hiht knot inside Li Yundong's chestHe was glad to see that some of Chan'er's inquisitiveness had returnedHe ly boundless capacity for curiosityHe missed her carefree attitude and her capacity to find joy in pretty ies for daily objectsHe wondered if she still called TVs talking boxes, if she missed her favorite soap shows
”Does that mén from now on?” Chan'er's nose wrinkled adorably
A laugh tore past Li Yundong's lips”Of course not” Chan'er squealed when he suddenly pinched her backside”Just call me like usual”
Chan'er's eyes went round, and they stared at each other for a few seconds until Chan'er frownedLi Yundong felt a sudden urge to smooth out the creases on her brows
”But that's so disrespectful,” Chan'er argued”You're the head of a sect now”
”ExactlyI'm the head of your sectWhichsmirked”And let this be e honorifics when you're addressingchuckled”How about it? That's a direct order fro raised a brow challengingly”Will you obey it?”
Chan'er's cheeks puffed out as a huge pout formed on her lips”Fine,” she mumbled
Chan'er sputtered when her cheeks deflated after he poked theirl”
Chan'er slid forward in his lap, which she had been straddling for the past tenon how you look at it)
”So the late Grande?” Chan'erreached up to stroke her hair”Not exactly”
”M chuckled wryly”If only his instructions were that specific”
Neither of the let out a weary sigh”I actuallyfor you”
Chan'er tensed up
For ahow hopeless he felt as facing those invincible arhats
”Beloved?”
Their gazes ht you were dead, Chan'er”
Chan'er's ainHe would've kissed it right off her pretty lips if he wasn't still so shaken by the thought of Chan'er being the one lying half-dead inside that paGoda
Li Yundong lowered his head until his chin touched his clavicle”It was a” He shook his head a few times”But at that moment, you have no idea how scared I was”
His head was lifted again by the soft touch of Chan'er's fingers on his jawline
”But I'! See!” Chan'er beamed”Hehehe…”
Chan'er's atteh fell flat as soon as it left his lips”Grandmaster Liu Ye told me I'd find you near some pond in Mount QiliI took a cab here as soon as I arrived in Dongwu City, but the place is hugeI tried calling your phone, but you didn't pick upSo I ended up looking all over the place for youAt one point I thought you were captured by a bunch of laed into a temple to rescue you”
